The readme file for the software version you are using provides information about the 
hardware and software requirements.   
Please take note of the information on the current CD for "SIMOTION SCOUT"! 
 
For online operation, a connection must be established between the PG/PC and the 
SIMOTION C via PROFIBUS DP, Ethernet or PROFINET (C240 PN), see chapter Overview 
of wiring di
agram (Page 94). 
The program
ming device must be equipped with a PROFIBUS or Ethernet card. 
You need an MMC adapter to write to the micro memory card (SIMOTION Kernel update) on 
the PG/PC, see chapter Writing, formatting and erasing the Micro M
